I wish I'd know what's the difference between lectures and seminars.

The skills you learn in the first and second year are actually needed for the third year.

First year grades might not count towards your degree.

Not all grades are going to be perfect, we are all learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Start univeristy with an open mind and don’t expect everything to be perfect or how you imagined it when you first start.

Don’t put too much pressure on your-self to meet people. You will find your friends even if it is not straight away.

Make the most of every opportunity even if you don’t know anyone as this could be where you make your friends.

Consider undertaking an internship or having a job at Univeristy as it will help you to settle in and develop transferable skills which will be extremely useful for future employment opportunities.
